The Pussy Fountainhead

If you ever use the phrase "pussy fountain," it had better refer to this.

As a regular chronicler of the Manosphere, I’m used to reading a lot of truly horrifying shit. But even by Manosphere standards, the following stood out. It’s from our good pal Ferdinand Bardamu of In Mala Fide, who felt the need to end a recent post by putting this image in my brain:

Among my friends, all of us are splashing in the pussy fountain. Some are sipping, others are gulping, but none of us are thirsty or dehydrated.

So now it’s in your brain, too!

In case you’re wondering, this came from a post in which our intrepid pussy fountain splasher argued that men

shouldn’t trust men who can’t get laid — they are opportunists who will betray you for the slimmest chance of scoring some pussy. … I wouldn’t be friends with a man who was perennially hopeless with the ladies. I might empathize with him, but I wouldn’t want to be near him. So you should live your life as well.

After reading this, I instantly developed a similar policy of my own. I don’t want to have anything to do with guys who refer to sex as “splashing in the pussy fountain.” In fact, I’d really prefer that there were no such guys.

@Alek: Well, minus points for completely misreading my request.The post you linked to had one sentence about Dworkin and an unattributed quote (you can shove any shit between quotation mark, but unless you give the source, preference title, author, edition, and page number, it’s meaningless shit-which is what the most of the stuff David F. quotes here is–there is NO sourcing, no attribution, and if you think that blog proves that F. read any of Dworkin’s publications, you are completely wrong:

As far as I can tell Fidelbogen’s “scouring” of feminist texts has consisted of flipping through books for about 30 seconds in the library, reading the pull-quotes on the back cover, and then 15 hours per book of fantasizing about evil feminists.

@CassandraSays: heh, you’re willing to give more credit to him than I am. I figured he like a bunch of the other dudez who have been quite comprehensively discredted by (let’s see if I can do html right this time, shall we?) David here at Manboobz, one of my favoritest posts evah on “Factchecking a list of Hateful quotes from feminists.”

I’m willing to concede the 15 hours fantasizing though ;>

But I’m sure Alek would never lie about a quote or anything since clearly his INTEGRITY is so important to him.

Again, I make no comment on you calling Elam crazy for that statement. As long as you quote him right, feel free to declare him anything you want, I fully support your democratic right to do so. My only issue is with mis-quoting people.

And that’s why everyone thinks you’re boring and full of shit. Why exactly would we want to talk to someone with no stated purpose except quote policing?

Also, if misquoting is your only issue, you must be constantly quote policing MRAs and correcting them when they misquote, misstate, or misattribute what women say, right?

Isn’t fidelboogen the dude who writes like all he’s ever read is bad Victorian prose?

The worst Victorian writers were better than “Explain. Expound. Elucidate.” Even “It was a dark and stormy night” guy.

Is AlexNovy really going to pretend he cares about getting quotes right after he whined, puled, and moaned about Rebecca Watson, based on what some morons said, without bothering to read her actual words? Because if so, I’m going to pretend to be an MRA.

shouldn’t trust men who can’t get laid — they are opportunists who will betray you for the slimmest chance of scoring some pussy. … I wouldn’t be friends with a man who was perennially hopeless with the ladies. I might empathize with him, but I wouldn’t want to be near him. So you should live your life as well.

It took me about 10 seconds to remember that it’s idiots like this who say we’re the misandrists. The jackassery these morons believe in is starting to come back to me now XD

(For all their claims about how they’re gathering power and will storm the world and end the gynocracy with their political power, it’s hilariously easy to forget they exist when you spend a month or two off manboobz)

Oh my lord, fidelbogen is the leading intellectual light of the MRM? That, Alek, is … interesting to me, because (I hate to break it to you) sort of a blithering idiot.

The guy has scoured several hundred feminist books, thousands of books on gender, and does a ton of research behind the scene.

I can only assume you mean “scoured” in the sense of “scouring the bathtub,” because he clearly hasn’t read any of them. (If he has, he’s got what must be the world’s worst reading comprehension.)

But now that I know he’s the best you guys have got, I guess I’ll have to make fun of him more often. Which is good for me — it’s really, really easy. The only drawback is that it means actually reading his dreck.

Oh, Alek, on that other thing you seem confused about: The topic of this blog is misogyny, not the MRM as such. I make no claim that all the people I write about here are MRAs, because they are quite clearly not.

Here are a couple of ways to tell if I’m claiming someone is an MRA: I describe him as one,and put a little MRA tag at the end of the post.

If you read the OP here again, you will see that I dont’ call him an MRA, and there is no MRA tag.

It’s really not that hard to figure out.

A lot of MRAs seem confused by this point, which leads me to conclude that they don’t actually read anything I actually write here; rather, they assume things and attack me for the things they assume about me.

That said, there is a lot of overlap between the MRAs, the MGOTWers the PUAs and the other less definable souls who make up the “manosphere.” Lots of MRAs are also PUAs, or inflienced by their ideas. Other MRAs, like you, aren’t into PUA.

But to claim that Roissy and Ferdinand exist in some other universe? Please The ideas overlap, the obsessions overlap, the readership overlaps, the idiotic slang overlaps. I’m not the one who came up with or popularized the idea of the “manospehre”; you guys did.

It’s sad when that purpose is hampered by a basic misunderstanding of how to carry it out (those strawmen you want to burn… aren’t), but one can hope.

It’s a problem, however, when one is being hypocritical about it. Care to amend your misquotations, and misrepresentations about Skepchick and her comments about the situation in the elevator?

Because if you can’t be honest enough to look at what you wrote, and hold it up to the same sort of scrutiny you claim to be applying to people who are critiquing your precious icons in the manosphere… there’s no reason to think you are being at all honest in the shaming agenda you are pushing here.

But I’m sure Fidelbogen will toss you a bone someday, if you heap enough praises on him they might even hide the feet of clay he’s standing on.

We Hunted the Mammoth tracks and mocks the white male rage underlying the rise of Trump and Trumpism. This blog is NOT a safe space; given the subject matter -- misogyny and hate -- there's really no way it could be.
